RESUMO A Ilha Comprida, uma barreira holocênica constituída de alinhamentos de cordões litorâneos, tem experimentado mu- danças morfológicas intensas nos últimos 200 anos em sua extremidade nordeste e arredores. Tais mudanças incluem o deslocamento do canal lagunar de Icapara para N, variações na largura local da ilha, com surgimento de um pequeno campo de dunas transgressivo, aumento da largura do canal artificial do Valo Grande (em Iguape), e surgimento e desaparecimento de feições efêmeras (tais como uma proeminência na costa e um embaiamento lagunar). A morfodinâmica da extremidade nordeste da ilha obedece à interação entre deriva litorânea, marés e aporte fluvial através do rio Ribeira de Iguape. Destaca-se que a deriva litorânea para NE, inferida por análises sedimentológicas, é o principal fator de deslocamento do canal de Icapara nesse rumo, somado a um “efeito de meandramento” do canal.

  • Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 893.pdf UNESCO Region: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEANS __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 4th December 1999 STATE PARTY: BRAZIL CRITERIA: N(ii)(iii)(iv) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 23rd Session of the World Heritage Committee IUCN informed the Committee that the evaluation of this property has been undertaken based on the revised nomination submitted by the State Party in April 1999. The Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves contain the best and largest remaining examples of Atlantic forest in the Southeast region of Brazil. The 25 protected areas that make up the site display the biological richness and evolutionary history of the few remaining areas of Atlantic forest of Southeast Brazil. The area is also exceptionally diverse with high numbers of rare and endemic species. With its "mountains to the sea" attitudinal gradient, its estuary, wild rivers, karst and numerous waterfalls, the site also has exceptional scenic values. The Committee decided to inscribe the site under natural criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv). It also recommended that the State Party should be encouraged to restore natural conditions in the Serra do Mar State Park, which potentially could be incorporated in the site. The Delegate of Morocco noted the values of the site but highlighted the challenges of the management of serial sites. The Delegate of Australia noted that management in serial sites is complex but can be done with careful strategic planning and an appropriate legal framework. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves in the states of Parana and Sao Paolo, contain some of the best and largest examples of Atlantic forest in Brazil.

This coastal plain exhibits an area of more than 1,500 km2. It has been interpreted as a consequence of shallow marine sedimentation of Pleistocene and Holocene, attributable to Cananeia and Santos transgressions, occurred during the last two interglacial stades named Sangamon and Holocene, intercalated by the last glacial stade named the Wisconsin according to the North-American nomenclature. However, without any scientific fully justifiable evidence, it has been hypothetically postulated that this coastal plain could represent an oceanic delta associated with the Ribeira de Iguape river mouth, which is the most important drainage along the São Paulo State coastline flowing to the Atlantic Ocean. This article has presented the data obtained by essentially sedimentological studies, based on grain size and heavy mineral analyses, which brought important subsidies for a negative response to the question: “is there a true delta at the Ribeira de Iguape river mouth (São Paulo State, Brazil)?”.

Biota Neotropica 20(4): e20200094. https://doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2020-0994 Abstract: The Ribeira de Iguape River basin has about 100 fish species. This study aimed to characterize the fish community from “serranias costeiras” of the Ribeira de Iguape River basin. Samplings were conducted with electrofishing during the dry season in the years 2018-2019. The sampling effort consisted of 30 streams stretches. As a result, 50 species were captured, distributed in 37 genera, 11 families, and six orders. The species richness estimate (SChao1) was 57 species, and the coverage estimate for the entire data set was C = 0.998. Harttia kronei and Chasmocranus lopezae are endemic species and can be used as bioindicators of streams in this river basin. We captured approximately nine species by stream stretch. Beta diversity was found to be more critical for gamma diversity than alpha diversity.

  • Analysis of Demographic and Socio-Economic Factors As Drivers Of
    1 Analysis of demographic and socio-economic factors as drivers of deforestation in the Ribeira do Iguape river basin, Brazilian Atlantic Forest: a GIS integration of census and remote sensing data ABSTRACT: In this paper, we develop an analysis on the socio-demographic factors associated with land cover change and deforestation processes in the Ribeira Valley watershed, a region that concentrates the largest remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the role of the different factors (demographic and socio-economic factors, topography, road infra-structure, conservation units) upon land cover change and deforestation processes in the Ribeira Valley region. In our study, we found out that regression analysis was not appropriate to deal with the independent variables because of the occurrence of strong correlations among them. We decided to work, instead, with a qualitative model that could represent the network of relationships between the independent variables and the deforestation rates (the dependent variable). Concerning this issue, we make a discussion about the limitations of deforestation regression models to address the role of demographic, socioeconomic and infrastructural variables to explain deforestation processes. The methodology for the analysis integrates socio-demographic data (from the Brazilian demographic census – 1991 and 2000) and land cover change data (from satellite images – Landsat TM), at the level of census tracts, in a geographic information system (GIS). In sum, our analysis of the factors associated with deforestation in the Ribeira Valley incorporates three important aspects: 1) it presents a wide geographic coverage; 2) it uses very disaggregated spatial unit of analysis (census tracts); and 3) it integrates a large and diverse number of variables for the analysis (census variables, remote sensing/land cover variables and other spatial variables as topography and road infrastructure).

Avenida Bandeirantes 3900, 14040-901 Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] 3 CNPq Researcher. ABSTRACT. The study of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera associated with litter in southeastern Brazil streams aimed to answer the following questions: 1) Does richness and composition of EPT fauna differ between riffle and pool mesohabitats despite being associated to the same substratum, litter? 2) Does the similarity of the EPT fauna between both mesohabitats change with time? 3) Does the EPT functional feeding structure differ between both mesohabitats (riffles–pools)? In order to answer these questions, monthly collec- tions, from November 1999 to June 2000, were done in Ribeirão (Stream) Bocaina with a D-net (10 litter patches in riffles and 10 in pools). The EPT fauna at Ribeirão Bocaina was more diversified and more abundant in the litter in riffles than in the litter in pools, although, when richness was standardized for the same number of individuals it became similar in both conditions. EPT fauna was very different between both mesohabitats in terms of faunal composition as well as in terms of function. Probably it was due to differences in water speed, in the time of litter residence and in the concentration of dissolved oxygen between both mesohabitats.

  • Demographic Dynamics and Socio-Economic Development As Drivers of Deforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
    1 Demographic dynamics and socio-economic development as drivers of deforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: a GIS integration of census and remote sensing data at different spatial scales Humberto Alves∗ Abstract: In this paper, I present and discuss the methodology and the main findings of my PhD thesis, submitted in 2004 at University of Campinas-UNICAMP, Brazil. In this article, I develop an analysis on the socio-demographic factors associated with land cover change and deforestation processes in the Ribeira Valley watershed, a region that concentrates the largest remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the role of demographic dynamics and socio- economic development upon deforestation processes over the last 15 years at regional, municipal and census tracts levels. I also look at the role of conservation units and topography on deforestation. First, I present a description of the different factors associated with the processes of land cover change and deforestation (demographic and socio-economic factors, topography, road infra- structure, conservation units) in different spatial scales: sub-regions, municipalities and zoning categories. Afterwards, I analyze the factors associated with land cover change and deforestation processes at the level of census tracts. The methodology for the analysis integrates socio-demographic data (from the Brazilian demographic census – 1991 and 2000) and land cover change data (from satellite images – Landsat TM), at different levels of aggregation (spatial scales), in a geographic information system (GIS). 1. Introduction One of the key contentious issues in global environmental change research relates to the major human causes and drivers of land cover change in different geographical and historical contexts.

Professor Lineu Prestes, 2242 – Cidade Universitária - SP 05508-000 São Paulo, SP [email protected] ABSTRACT During several decades the Alto Vale of Ribeira region (SP-PR) suffered under lead mining activities in the region. Although in 1996 all such activities ceased, the mining activities left behind a huge amount of environmental liabilities mainly in the hydrographic basin of Ribeira de Iguape river. In the present study the chemical characterization of bottom sediments was undertaken and the concentration of the major (Ca, Fe, K and Na), trace (As, Ba, Br, Co, Cs, Hf, Rb, Sb, Ta, Th, U, Zn) and rare earth elements (La, Ce, Eu, Nd, Sm, Lu, Tb, Yb and Sc) by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) were determined. The validation of the analytical methodology was performed by means of certified reference materials analyses and Z-score criterion was used. Eight points were sampled at the Ribeira de Iguape river and its majoritaries from Adrianópolis (Pr) (site 01) to Registro (SP) (site 08).
